Previously, I’ve made a tutorial on how to use a 74HC595 Serial In/ Parallel Out Shift Register, which is useful in expanding output pins. In this tutorial, I am going to show another shift register which is capable of expanding input pins. The IC that I am using is 74HC165 Parallel In/ Serial Out Shift Register. One of the advantages that need to be stressed on is that by using only four pins, I can get eight input pins. Moreover, it can be cascaded, thus you can have any amount of input pins with only four pins with the help of this shift register.
